I have discovered that his parents were Nathaniel Kettell, born abt 1585, Kent, England, and Anne Lord born abt 1589. Still trying to connect John.

We are ...Richard is a progenitor of my family tree. We are direct descendants through Joseph. He had 6 children: Hannah (1637); John (1639); Joseph (1640/41); Samuel (1642); Nathaniel (1644); Jonathan (1646). he indeed emigrated in 1633 from England. He was, in addition to above, admitted Freeman in 1635, was a Juryman in 1660 and chosen Sealer of Weights & Measures in 1663. He is mentioned in Frothingham's History. His autograph is printed there. He bequeathed to John "one peise of Marsh by ye Mill Pond by estimation 2 Acres more or less." I am still working on his connection with John Kettell of Kings Langley, Co. Hertford England who was granted a Coat of Arms in 1570; whose son was Ralph Kettell (a protege' of Lady Paulet), President of Trinity College in Oxford for 44 years. He built Kettell Hall (part of Trinity College). He was noted for "eccentric and often humorous words and deeds".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-6564642996666676182013-08-30T17:33:28.111-07:002013-08-30T17:33:28.111-07:00Richard Kettell is my eighth great grandfather.

My history jingle tells me the sequence is Charles I, James I, Cromwell (1649-60), Charles II, James II. Probably both towns were named for Charles I.Mariann Reganhttp://mariannsregan.comnoreply@blogger.com
